Thread-topic: Client binding to a specific local address

I'm working on an embedded LDAP application software that makes use of the OpenLDAP client ldap and lber libraries, not the LDAP client command-line utilities. For that reason, I didn't look into the client utilities and narrowly thought of slapd -h (where -H option doesn't exist).

I see the client utilities ldapsearch, ldapadd, ldapmodify... have the [-H ldapuri] option, but the library functions ldap_search, ldap_search_ext, ldap_add, ldap_add_ext, ldap_modify, ldap_modify_ext, etc. don't have an equivalent input argument. Is it correct that no client library function supports specification of a local IP address?

Daniel

You may wish to more carefully read my response (Hint: -h and -H are not the same thing).  You may also wish to refer to the man pages for client utilities such as ldapsearch, (which use the LDAP client side API).
